Theramore's Fall Unlocked Today, September 17th

Kaivax and Bashiok just updated the forums that Theramore's Fall, the MoP Pre-release scenario, is hitting US servers today instead of tomorrow, as originally planned. It is now live in Europe and will be on US servers starting at 6 pm EST.

For US servers it will be unlocked today in the afternoon.

Based on Bashiok's twitter, it seems that EU will get the scenario slightly earlier than the US!

It's tied to relative timezones and giving each region the same amount of time with it. EU will unlock first.

When it goes live, we'll have a preview of the scenario with screenshots and a video! Here's what we know so far from forum posts and datamining.

Overview

From September 17-24 only, players can queue up at 85 for Theramore's Fall, a new scenario. The scenario can be later completed by level 90 players in Mists of Pandaria. Scenarios are not intended to be lengthy, and can be completed by a group of friends or random players regardless of spec or class balance.

Level 85 players will need to have ilvl 353 gear to be eligible to queue up.

Garrosh is obsessed with expanding his empire and views Theramore and Jaina as threats to his power. While the Alliance has strong reinforcements, nothing is too unethical for him to use as a military advantage.

Theramore will eventually be changed permanently to its post-battle state in a future patch.

Jaina has a new in-game model after the attack on Theramore: the harmful magic from Garrosh's bomb on Theramore turns her hair permanently white. Check out the before and after images.

Dustwallow Marsh will still be a zone players can quest in. However, the former interactive version of Theramore with NPCs and questgivers will eventually be removed.

Several ilvl 384 items have been datamined in beta patches, with Theramore-themed names and old-school vanilla models.
